You Never Know When The Publicity People

I Kind Of Have An Interest In All History. And I Suspect It Comes From Being Irish - We Like Stories, We Like Telling Stories, Which Makes A Lot Of Us Lean Towards Being Writers Or Actors Or Directors.

I Do Like Working On Independent Films Where It Is A Smaller Budget And Less Pressure. The Pace Is Also Quicker Than That Of A Big Budget Film. You Are Shooting At A Fairly Fast Pace. Sitting Around For Three Or Four Days Can Be Quite Draining. So I Guess In Terms Of Film Or Television, I Would Say Filming An Independent Feature.

Normally When I'm Sent A Script I'll Read It Through To See How It Hangs As A Story And Then I'll Go Back And Read It Through Again And Look At The Character.

You Never Know When The Publicity People Will Feel It Is A Good Time To Release The Film.

If You're Playing A Historical Character That's In The Public Consciousness, Then Obviously You've Got To Make An Effort To Look Like That Person And There's A Huge Amount Of Historical Record There That You Have To Kind Of Comply To.
